It seems that the times we have all dreamed of are finally upon us. Big Brother Norfolk Southern is moving into New England and the Guilford corporate image is slowly but surely dissolving. However we did take a trip down this road about three years ago when Pan Am Repainted two ex-CN GP40-2w's in its new "Pan Am" paint scheme. This sparked a lot of discussion about equipment being repainted and major changes but only resulted in nothing more than a facelift on two units. However this past winter repainting started again with two Snow plows (Much needed). After this we saw the beginning of the new "Dark Future". The first pictures of the 506 we released on an overcast and gray day. It could indeed be a dark future. Of course all indications are that the future of the railroad can only improve but as we have learned from this company in years past, things aren't always as they seem. Now two months after the big announcement, Pan Am has started to spread its corporate image. It is possible that we are witnessing the end of the 25 year Guilford regime. Now we see Pan Am, a globally recognized brand, on trucks, locomotives, and even buildings. It is indeed exciting times ahead for the railroad.
Thats all for now folks!
